It is officially one month since I last posted and have completely lost my way with No S. I feel very ashamed and embarrassed to have to admit to gaining 5-6lbs over the past few weeks. I'm not exactly sure why I decided to take a break from No S. No S definitely improved my mental state but I suppo...

Thanks for the encouraging words Oolala . It's good to hear from a more experienced No S-er that I'm doing ok. My Sunday was very similar to my Saturday.

Last week was ok. Not green but not a total failure. But I did cheat a bit last night. I woke around 1.30am and really wanted a snack.

Thanks for the good wishes gk and NoBS . I have to admit that while I was unable to eat much, I did secretly think to myself 'at least I must be getting thinner' :D Yesterday was another sick day Ate mostly to plan but did have a few snacks in-between meals as I could only stomach a little food at a...

How has your Monday been? Are your Monday blues getting any better? Seems we may have a lot in common because I, too, seem to have the starving-kid belly! Seems to run in our family as well as my sister is very seriously thin (too thin but she eats loads) but she tells me that after each meal her st...

Thanks No BS , gk and MJ for the encouraging words! Hooray for my first moderate weekend! Although I did eat a bit too much ice cream, this weekend was a HUGE improvement over the past weekends. I never felt overstuffed and actually felt in control. It was such a nice feeling. (Admittedly, it's part...

Haha - I love it! Your planned breakfast sounds amazing - I know that it probably shouldn't as I'm meant to be working on learning to be more moderate on S days - but it really does :D Really great news on the weight loss. Unfortunately my waistline is not as happy about my first few weeks on No S a...

Thanks gk , MJ , Amy and milliem for your support! It's so nice to feel supported - it definitely gives me a real boost and makes me more motivated to continue reporting green days.

Thursday nearly finished and I'm definitely finished eating for the day. Just need to hang on for one more day and I'll have completed 2 weeks of green N days (with the exception of my small cheat @ 11.30pm last Friday evening but I'm treating that as a one-time only slip up and feel ok with that). ...

Yay for another green day today :mrgreen: I think I may be getting better at this No S plan - at least in terms of following the rules. Both yesterday and today there were times when I felt a bit hungry (or possibly just snack-y) between meals. Before No S, I would definitely have found something to...

Hi gk, Just wanted to send some good wishes and add my support. Like you, I cannot just have 'one taste' without it sending me into a binge frenzy (which is why I'm still struggling a bit on S days). My only way around this is to keep all tempting treats out of the house during the week. I'm also tr...

Thanks for your post MJ. For the most part, I'm ok with not being driven to eat by my emotions. However I definitely need to take your advice and remember that I'm in control whenever I find myself reaching for food I don't actually want just because it's there. It's now early evening on Tuesday and...

Ahhh, it's late afternoon on Monday and I have to say that I feel SO much better having eaten 3 moderate meals today opposed to the non-stop eating I did over the weekend. It's strange how even though I've started to learn over the past few weeks that I prefer how I feel on N days and hate how I fee...

Ugh. Have eaten far too much this weekend. The worst part is that the past two days have consisted of almost zero real meals and mostly lots and lots of sweets. I should also confess that I did give in and have 1/2 of a large cookie and 1/2 a large brownie at approx 11.30pm on Friday night. As I wro...

Day 5: It's 9.40pm on Friday night and I have been going back and forth with thoughts of 'it's close enough to Saturday to have a small bite of cookie, right?'. But then I keep remembering how proud I've been feeling for achieving my first week of 5 green N days and also how proud my friend was for ...

Thanks for posting Strawberry. It helps to know that others are actually reading my check-ins - now I really will feel guilty if I have to report a red! N day success today! I am particularly proud because I walked past loads of food stalls of mouth watering baked goods and I didn't give in. However...

Hi Leafy, Although Mondays may be hard right now, you're clearly doing brilliantly if you're already on 7 weeks! Mondays are typically hard for me too - along with the other 4 N days :) Just keep reminding yourself how far you've come in such a short period of time. Hooray - only 1.5 more days until...

Contemplating buying some yummy treats with the intention of saving them until the weekend. But then also very worried that I'm tempting fate by bringing my ...

Day 2 was green and now onto day 3 feeling good. One thing that I'm finding is that I'm not actually getting that hungry between my meals most days. This is clearly a sign that I'm eating too much at each sitting. So now that my 'trial period' of No S is done, I'm going to stop using the early learn...

Hi, I think the best thing to do is not to dwell on what you did 'wrong' and to tell yourself that you'll do better next time. I, too, overate this weekend and it didn't feel good. But I'm trying to just look at it as lesson learnt - it does not feel good to eat so much junk and feel overfull- and t...

18th March 2013 - Day 1 I started my No S journey on the 12th February which makes this the start of week 6. The past few weeks have had its ups and downs. Giving up snacks between meals has been much easier than I anticipated. Seconds is not generally a problem either - although admittedly I'm pili...

Welcome Anoulie! Confession time...after posting a green N for Friday, I need to change that to a red. I couldn't resist those cookies that my brother brought home and gave in and then that led to more snacking. I was sooo close to making it to the weekend. Very disappointing. I had FAR too much to ...

Have made myself a nice cup of decaf coffee to end my day. 3/10 - Day 1 (S day) :mrgreen: 3/11 - Day 2 :mrgreen: 3/12 - Day 3 :oops: 3/13...

Very nearly a red day but have saved myself by logging onto here now and chewing on a piece of gum instead. Did well today. My brother is here visiting from the US and I took him to my favourite outdoor food market that have gigantic brownies that I love and always always buy. But I didn't and didn'...
